Helena Alabama April 2009 Homes Sales Rise

Helena Alabama Residential home sales for the month of April 2009 increased over those for March 2009 substantially. Below are the comparisons for the two months:

While the increase in residential units sold was 70%, the average price was down approximately 8.39%. However the sales to list price only dropped by 1% indicating that the homes that did sell in April were on average, lower priced to begin with than those which sold in March. Another good market indicator is that the average days on market for the homes that sold decreased from 160 in March to 137 in April.

Helena is a great place to live and work. It has much to offer in the way of recreation, shopping and dining...a place where neighbors get to know one another and there is a real sense of community.

It is a great time to buy for those looking to move up, downsize and for first time homebuyers-- defined as anyone who has not owned a home in the last 3 years and investors. Interest rates are at historic lows and there are many homes on the market priced really well. Call me to find out how you can benefit from a move in this market. Also give me a call for information about the federal tax incentive of up to $8000 for first time buyers and how you can take advantage of it now.

Birmingham Alabama April 2009 Homes Sales

Birmingham Alabama MLS Residential home sales for the month of April 2009 increased over those for March 2009. The 1096 residences sold represented an approximate increase of 4.88 % over the number sold in March. However, sales for April 2009 were down approximately 22.82 % from those of April 2008. In 2008 there was only a .7% increase in home sales from March to April. * So, even though our numbers are down from last year, the increase from March to April this year is almost 7 times that of March to April of 2008. Unfortunately, not all agents get their listings updated in a timely manner. It is still early in the month and we will see more April sales being recorded as the days pass.

It is a great time to buy for those looking to move up, downsize and for first time homebuyers-- defined as anyone who has not owned a home in the last 3 years and investors. Interest rates are at historic lows and there are many homes on the market priced really well. Call me to find out how you can benefit from a move in this market.

Southlake Cove Hoover, Alabama

Southae CoveSouthlake Cove is a charming community in Shelby County located within the city limits of Hoover. It was built around Rutherford Lake and is a part of a larger development, Southlake. The development is conveniently located close to shopping, dining and entertainment near I65 less than 10 miles from UAB and major medical facilities.Lake Street Signs

Most homes in Southlake Cove were built in the early to mid 1990s and many have been updated. The community is unique for its location in that it offers the lake with fishing and also allows pontoon boats. Many of the nearby close-in communities with lakes do not allow motorized boats, if any boats at all.

The homes in Southlake Cove are spacious, single family residences built on relatively small lots that appeal to persons who want a large home without a large yard to maintain. The floor plans are typically conducive to entertaining. Many of the homes are lakefront and have piers along with wonderful lake views Boats

Zoned for Hoover schools, Southlake Cove is a wonderful place to make your next home.

If you have any questions about Southlake Cove, Hoover, the Birmingham or Shelby County area give me a call. I'll be happy to answer them.
